Today is Day 15, you know what that means? I’m officially half-way through. I’ve survived half of the Whole30. It has been hard and I would be lying if I said I did everything perfect. I tried a sip of diet coke and it was nasty. So much for being a rebel! I guess I’ve […]
I really enjoy eating out. J and I can get out of the house for a little bit, have a date night, and just be around people. So when we go and I order food knowing that it’s not prepared correctly and knowing it’s not the best choice of meat then it makes it less […]
I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I’ve started these posts… I guess time flies when you’re having whatever this is… I’m also 13 days into my Whole30 experience. So I haven’t weighed myself or anything. I can tell clothes are fitting better, but I’m not sure if that’s Whole30 contributed or a combination of […]
So I’m a honey mustard and thousand island kinda girl when it comes to my salad. I always say I could eat a big salad every single day and be perfectly happy. And that’s the truth as long as I got one of my favorite dressings on hand. Of course those dressings are not Whole30 […]
Week 1 of Whole30 has come to an end (actually the first 10 days). I survived. I shared my meal plan with you last week of what I planned to eat. But being this is a new year and I’m striving for a new me, I want to be held accountable for what I actually […]
I’m on Day 8 of my first Whole30. It’s rough. I’m not even craving food – just diet coke! I love me some diet coke! I’m sick of water. I’ve tried several flavors of coconut water and I didn’t care for them. I can drink sparkling water, but barely. It doesn’t taste good to me. […]
I have to be honest with you. I mean, it’s more like being honest with myself. Nonetheless it has to be done. I have not lost any weight since I’ve started Weight Loss Wednesdays. I’m so ashamed! It’s been 7 weeks – seven. weeks. I don’t know where my head was at. I was hoping […]
So for my first week of following Whole30 I found this yummy looking casserole from From This Kitchen Table on Pinterest. I added a few tweaks and voila – my very own breakfast casserole that’s Whole30 approved. I went ahead and made a pan up on New Year’s day, let it cool then sliced it […]
It’s no secret that I’m crazy over our pups. I have many posts and Instagram images dedicated to them. I can’t believe how much bigger Bud has grown in just the short 8 months we’ve had him. Plus, Friday is the 2 year anniversary of when we found Tiny. She was just a poor little […]
I’ve committed to starting Whole30 for the month of January. I have a feeling it’s going to be hard. If you’ve been living under a rock and have no idea what I’m talking about then I suggest you check it out on their site. It’s the idea that our bodies are not made to consume […]
